Can't find this button (circled in yellow) in the manual. It is a simple push button just above the instrument panel brightness adjustment.

Aftermarket. I take it you got your truck used? Anything obvious the previous owner added like lights?

Not another mystery button. I'm still waiting to see what the buttons did on the first two threads about a mystery buttons to get solved.

They seem to show up out west, first one was in Utah and the other in Arizona.

Must be remnates from Roswell.

Drive it around the block at night and hit the button and see if any lights come on or off. Or speedometer dies or interior lights go out even with the door open.

Is that a maintained button or momentary button?

If there's nothing audible or visual (at night as suggested) that can be detected then prepare to trace wires if you're curious enough. Since 'ejector seat' and 'plaid mode' were taken I'll suggest aftermarket lighting (light bar?) that may have been removed.

I have a 2015 Ford Expedition Limited 4x4, purchased new.

There is no button above the panel brightness adjustment rocker switch.

I was more worried that someone would post again, asking what is the best oil filter to use.........

It's momentary, just pushes in and pops out, no clicks that would indicate something is engaged or released. I purchased used, and the CARFAX indicated government use, possibly law enforcement, so I like your suggestion about add-on lighting. There are some holes drilled in the plastic cladding near the third row that could have been "police lights" I guess. There's also several holes on the passenger side of the center console that could have been a mounting location for radio(s).
